Just shows you have that innate reserve and tact which prompted us to bestow honorary citizenship on you (remember to invoke it next time you cross the border). I love how these guys always stress trust and honesty... it's an interesting psychological principle. And the fact he keeps most of the money, and peels off a bit for charity are innovations in themselves. I'd be interested in putting together a resource along the lines of "good techniques from bad people"... I once built a presentation around an old CIA torture manual (hmm, I must still have it, but that was two or three moves ago) that was loaded with useful insights relevant to teaching. And surely there have been new manuals published the past few years with more up-to-date tips! Thanks for leaving Canadians out of this.
